What I initially thought as one of the shortest and most disappointing updates in a while quickly turned to one of the longest and most enjoyable. Thanks for posting all of the Halo presentations from conferences Luke. It's pretty cool to see the technical applications of encounters and other interesting design choices necessary to create a game like Halo. Nice update, and congrats on the GOTY award: clearly it is well-deserved.

The Flood Revolution is coming...

Congratulations on the GOTY award. Very close, but the right game was chosen. Greatest acceptance speech ever, Marty's mom owns.

You should've posted this one in the smaller news section.

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Is Bungie working on something?

Bungie has built a fan base and an online community that all other games fail to do. We sit at the end of our chairs waiting for the next big thing to come and you guys should be extremely proud. I can understand people getting on your nerves with all their -blam- but hey fourth graders need hobies too. Bungie.net the only website I visit 10x a day.

Meh. I would like to discuss my feelings, but I'm just too damn lazy.

Git back in the flood, private! You wanna git disinfected?

And Luke, they should STFU when they say that Resistance is better than Halo.

I know.....that was really dissappointing and really short! danggggggg

  • 08.09.2008 5:58 AM PDT

If we don't find a way out of this soon, I'm going to lose it. Lose it. It means go crazy.
Nuts. Insane. Bonzo. No longer in possession of one's faculties. Three fries short of a Happy Meal. WACKO!

update was a waste of electrons.

that map looks large and what is with all the CQB Spartans dieing at the end.

  • 08.09.2008 6:25 AM PDT

I'm a teacher that plays Halo. What of it?

Speculation is great. So let's look deeper into the update as to why it could have been so short.

First, they talk about GOTY. Watch the video. The background appears to be new. Possibly a new map they are working on. They also say to "Keep it Clean" and show the SI in the bottom right. The E3 announcement is still coming. Be patient. At the end, it seems a lot of them are host booted. Could be Bungie working on that problem as we type.

Second part is about Recon. Self explainitory. Don't ask for it. If you earn it, it will come.

Third part deals A LOT with the AI functionality of the game. AI is also the driving force for Bots in the game. Now, I would hate to see Bots in Halo, but there has been a demand for them. Who knows, maybe the AI section of the update is to let you know they're working on it. Or, it's there to let you know how hard it would be and that it isn't going to happen.

dude, this is getting really old. how many times is bungie going to have to tell people that if u ask fo recon you don't get it, or anything else like that. god, just STFU and play the game.

Forum Rules for those who care to know what they are.

"Bs: Blame stosh for all of your BS!"

I love the Bungie publications, but they take so damn long to download. Does Bungie still use Sapien, Blitzkrieg, and Guerilla or are they replaced by something else?

I think Bungie should try in implement on just one new map, a Forge system that'll allow you to put A.I opponents in the map. I know it might not be easy, but I believe Bungie could do it. Of course, most people would use this for offline and machinima purposes, but still. I think g a good medium to large map, with a few different A.I characters like a Marine type, Brute Type, Jackal, Elite, Flood&Hunter would be pretty cool.However this isn't a update, more of a information of old stuff. There must be some sort of reason why they are doing this? Maybe they are telling us that they will not give us a A.I implantation for a new Halo 3 map, or they are telling us possibly?

XBL Ambassador, Graphic Designer, Maker of Halo panoramas and full 360 degree views. Halo Panoramas

That was a pretty short and boring "update". Can we talk about something in the update other than how to not get Recon? Reading tech stuff doesn't seem very fun, so that would be a waste (for me). I would rather read about how Shishka got sick drinking too much beer and started spouting off to random strangers on the love affair MC has with Cortana.

I'd like to thank Marty's Mom. hahahhahahha

  • 08.09.2008 8:24 AM PDT

Luke, if you had a chance to take recon out of the game before it shipped would you? or atleast never use it to avoid this moster it created?

So yet another update with no new info what so ever. For the love of God will you please give us an update on something we actually care about? All those things you posted might be nifty to those at Bungie but I personally could care less about it.


Hey c'mon, these publications are actually valuable information to many people; aspiring game developers (people who admire, say, the AI design in Halo and want to know the thought process behind it.)
I actually look through some of the publications, they're interesting; I care about them.


Well I just play the game and this update had nothing for me.
